Locked due to suspicious comments.

Is this a spam campaign?

Five of the eleven comments so far (including one from OP) are all recommending the same service; all five are from accounts less than 2 months old with a one or two digit number of comments 🤔

The comments are definitely freaky. I'll see what to do about it, thanks for bringing it up

I am happy with hostingby.design
But my service was grandfathered in. Was unhapy with their new offerings

[–] Grostleton@lemm.ee 12 points 1 day ago

I've always had a good experience with whatbox.ca

I'd have to second Feral Hosting, although I haven't used them for years. Starting from £10/month for 1TB and unlimited bandwidth.

[–] Xanza@lemm.ee 3 points 1 day ago

Been using FeralHosting for 10 years or so now. A bit more expensive than the rest, but I've had less than 3-4 issues within that whole time and they've always been a reliable provider. Highly recommend them.

ultra.cc user here as well. Cheapest option (no streaming) and am super happy. Yes, it's not a dedicated connection but it is sufficiently fast. Shell access to the box, easy app installers, webdav, sftp, and web access. Egress over ssh (rsync/rclone) does not count towards bandwidth (unlike http(s)) Been using them for 6 months now.

I've been on Feralhosting since 2016. No complaints, great support, fast speeds, reasonable prices. Seriously their support staff has helped me set up/troubleshoot so many apps over the years

Ultra.cc...this is the way. Choose any of which you can afford. I've been recommended to choose any and all seedboxes in Singapore, but for what reason they didn't explain well to me. Been using it for over a year now. Has all the apps you could need.

Singapore, but for what reason they didn’t explain well to me.

Fast internet speeds, and generally they don't give a fuck about American IP, although that's beginning to change.

I will start. I currently use Ultra.cc and I am on their $5 plan. I've been using them for the past 4 months and I have no complaints about them.

[–] mooncake@lemm.ee 0 points 1 day ago

Ultra.cc definitely, used them for years and their support is top notch and reply pretty much instantly.

I’ve personally tried the following and can highly recommend any of them. My personal preference from top to bottom. Whatbox Feralhosting Ultra.cc

They all have 1 click app install.
